Dr. Chen studies the effectiveness of novel physical therapy interventions in improving upper-extremity function in children with developmental disabilities, primarily in children with cerebral palsy and infants born prematurely who are at high risk of developing cerebral palsy.

Dr. Chen collaborates with Dr. Ayanna Howard at Georgia Institute of Technology’s Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Machines trying to develop an affordable virtual-reality game system called Super Pop VRTM. With funding from the National Science Foundation and the Center for Transforming Pediatric Healthcare Delivery they are conducting clinical trials to examine the effects of virtual reality and robotic therapy to train arm function in children with cerebral palsy.
